TOM SHAW AWARD FOR DETERMINATION
300TH FINISHER RECEIVES $595 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO RUNNER’S EDGE!
“Tom Shaw (who went by “Cat”) was a guy born with every natural talent. A strong and gifted athlete, intelligent, hard-working, a good human
being with an innate inability to quit in the face of adversity. At 20-years old he was stricken with a devastating disease that he battled through-
out his life until he passed suddenly in 2016. In life Tom became an advocate, role model and inspiration to everyone he met. To combat the
effects of his disease, Tom took up the sport of triathlon. The TOBAY Triathlon was his favorite race. The last time he competed (2014) he placed
595th. This award is dedicated to all competitors, especially those facing difficult physical or personal challenges, who refuse to give up or to
give in no matter how difficult the road ahead may be.

when he was helping him pick up toys during the Holiday season,

back from graduate school in North Dakota, Ryan and John
decided to move forward on this idea and make it a reality and set
